WiPTerm FET- Open Project

This project proposes a pioneering, clean and economical solution for energy transfer with the development of an innovative wireless system to recharge the energy storage components used in CubeSat technology.

AtlanTTic contributed to the requirements design of the photothermoplasmonic generator prototype, the thermomechanical modeling of the device and its successful integration into a 3U CubeSat-type nanosatellite.

The consortium is made up of a network of 3 countries and 5 partners (University of Porto, Universidade de Vigo, University of Limoges, INESTEC and CENTI).
